I'm certainly ok with that.

That said, I'm also ok with not getting the authorship credit for this at all. Not because you wrote the commit log and updated the patch with REFNAME_ALLOW_ONELEVEL and added a test-case, but because clearly Michael Schubert already did basically the core of that patch ten years ago.

So Junio, feel free to add my

  Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

but feel equally free to give credit to Jeff or - belatedly - Michael.
